SCE Climate Colloquium | November 11

Climate Colloquium Invitation 
Please join this Thursday for the SCE Climate Colloquium. While unusual, this is a day-long, all-school event aligned with COP26 so students, faculty, and staff can collective focus attention to the existential threat, persistent presence, and unjust impact of the global climate crisis.  And, equally, to embrace and celebrate creative ways to decarbonize the practices of Interior Design, Product + Industrial Design, Architecture, and Lighting Design.

Format for the Day:  Each discipline of SCE will take the “stage” for 1.5 hours.  1 hour will be dedicated to a series of focused faculty project presentations.  At the end of the hour, an open response and Q+A will follow, led by student managers.  Program directors will moderate each session.
